What kind of time frame is "not that far away"? For v7.3?
If not, and someone can clarify what I'm understanding this patch will do,
its essentially going to setup a directory structure of:
data/base/<dboid>/<tbloid>.idx/indx
?
If we aren't going to have tablespaces for v7.3, there we are talking 6->8
months before we do, and the above sounds like a reasonable interim
solution for this ...
